Supported IBM and vendor-acquired software with TXSeries for Multiplatforms 7.1 on IBM AIX

News


Abstract

The following tables lists the IBM and vendor-acquired software supported for use with TXSeries for Multiplatforms 7.1 on AIX.

Content

This page provides information about the levels of IBM and vendor-acquired software that are compatible with TXSeries 7.1. However, since every possible combination of products cannot be tested, we suggest that you contact the vendor to verify that a particular product is supported for use with TXSeries. Maintenance levels listed below are minimum levels. TXSeries is not tested with every maintenance level of every product; we generally assume vendors do not cause regressions in their patches/SPs/FPs/CSDs/PTFs. If you use later maintenance levels and experience problems, test with the levels specified in this document before contacting your IBM support representative.

Products that do not appear in the following tables have not been tested with TXSeries 7.1. TXSeries is periodically tested with additional vendor-acquired software and the information is updated accordingly.

TXSeries is a 32-bit product. All libraries linked with TXSeries must be 32-bit libraries. Most vendors offering 64-bit versions of their products provide 32-bit client libraries. On 64-bit UNIX operating systems, TXSeries runs in 32-bit compatibility mode where support is noted in the operating system entry in the table below.

Note:

  • Since interaction between releases of operating systems, software products, and TXSeries is very complex, information on this page can possibly conflict with information that is provided by product vendors. If you notice such an inconsistency or if you experience unanticipated problems, consult your vendor's product support and notify your IBM support representative.
  • IBM recommends that you maintain your TXSeries system environments at the latest fix pack level. See TXSeries for Multiplatforms support policy statement for more details.
